Grey's Anatomy : What's next for Amelia and Owen?

Posted February 25 2015 8:30 PM EST

It finally happened: During last weeks episode of Greys Anatomy, Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) and Owen (Kevin McKidd) shared their first kiss.

Though fans had suspected Greys would go this route after executive producer Shonda Rhimes first hinted towards the pairing last summer, the big moment came after a slow burn of subtle moments between the duo, like Owen comforting Amelia in the chapel as April (Sarah Drew) faced losing her childsomething Amelia also experienced during her tenure on Private Practice.

However, Rhimes cautions that Amelia has bigger things to deal withlike Dr. Hermans (Geena Davis) upcoming intense brain surgeryso a relationship isnt on the forefront of her mind. We have other stories to tell, Rhimes says. It doesnt have anything to do with being kissed. It has a lot to do with Amelia as a surgeon, [and] that is some of my favorite story. But that does not mean that we are not also telling the story of Owen and Amelias affections for each other.

Greys Anatomy airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
